Capital del Rock

About This Movie

So, 'Capital del Rock' is this fascinating dive into the roots of national rock music in Argentina. Set in La Plata, it really shines a light on a city that’s got more bands per capita than you’d expect. The documentary spans from 1966 to 1970, which is a crucial time for the genre, and it digs into the lesser-known origins of Virus and Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota. The atmosphere is quite nostalgic, almost raw—like you’re peeling back layers of history that haven’t seen the light in years. It’s got a nice pacing that keeps you engaged without feeling rushed. The interviews and archival footage make it feel authentic, and it’s really interesting to see how these bands shaped the music scene.
